Create K8s cluster

If you want to create a single node K8s cluster quickly, just run the command

$ kind create cluster

By default, the cluster will be given the name kind. Use the --name flag to assign the cluster a different context name. If you want the create cluster command to block until the control plane reaches a ready status, you can use the --wait flag and specify a timeout. To use --wait you must specify the units of the time to wait. For example, to wait for 30 seconds, do --wait 30s, for 5 minutes do --wait 5m, etc.

Create K8s cluster using KIND configuration file For a sample kind configuration file see kind-example-config.

Create a K8s cluster with 1 master and 2 worker nodes:

$ kind create cluster --config kind-config.yaml
